The Meeting Secretariat (AOPC) is in charge of hotel accommodation and will operate on a first-come first-served basis with the incoming requests. Due to heavy demand and to the fact that distribution of rooms is limited, accommodation cannot be guaranteed after March 10, 2008, although AOPC will make every effort to meet participants' requirements.

Hotel accommodation

Hotel accommodation in various price categories and with special rates has been reserved in Barcelona. The number of rooms available in the official hotels is limited and therefore AOPC reserves the right to confirm a non-official hotel if the official hotels are fully booked. In this case, the special rates will not be applied. All rates are per room and night and include buffet breakfast. VAT (7% in 2008) is not included in rates.
